Mass protests confront governments, police and employers in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe

This was the third night of demonstrations. The main meme - as with the flags - is "we are sons of Ataturk".

However, there is another view: "We're all here," one masked woman told me. "Communists, anarchists, democrats. It's not an Ataturkist movement."
